The win costs us going into a match against Holland we would LOVE a point from.
2 CBs are out, as is Young, up front. Why do we always have injured or suspended defenders?!..

Our campaign starts with the easiest game on paper, but not actually easy. Yugoslavia.
As always im unclear on who my front 2should be but its fine because Johnston's again the hero! First heading home a Pearson cross, then dispatching a free kick.
We man mark our way to a 2-0 win!..

After failing to qualify for a major tournament for 7 years, we top the group and go to the Euros!
Naturally we draw a horror group and will be on our way home soon.
To be fair, every group looks impossible, so we're here to try and bloody a nose or two...

we need a massive swing to overcome Sweden, so once we get an early goal we push forward. Johnston again is fantastic behind the front 2, while there are contributions from all over as we win 4-1.
Incredibly Iceland hold Sweden goalless & we top the group.

We can still in theory top the group, but look set for a 2nd qualifying spot regardless. Bring on Azerbaijan!!

Ours and the Czechs journeys can go either way today. A win eliminates the other.
Again we have defensive issues, our back 3always different.
We man mark Baros, Rosicky &Jankulovski, but they go ahead.
The recalled Derek Young, after 5 seasons away levels, then we win at the death!...

With a tight 3 games to go I am amazed that we tonk Iceland 3-0. They dont even have a shot. Teenager Alec Johnson looking good in the hole behind the strikers.
We still have a tough fixture against the czechs to overcome before we start celebrating...

Our fitness issues continue against Azerbaijan &Sweden, more rotation in defence. I also start defenders Moffat &Crainey up front vs Sweden after struggles in Baku.
They hit the target 3 times but with us falling behind I go to strikers, and Baxter finally scores his 5th for us. 1-1...

We have 7 out for the visit of Czech Rep, but my concern is finishing. Baxter looks the part but cant score.
Defensive player Adam Moffat has the attributes. I recall Mark Burchill too.
We dominate but are again unconvincing in the final 3rd. Burchill wins it though, big 3pts...

..We somewhat get away with a tepid performance in Iceland. Can't succeed by drawing every game, but it's not as if we're not looking to win. We have 4 playmakers and decent strikers, making chances, but not converting.
Brown has had a couple of decent games in goal though...

We start against Sweden, still with Zlatan &Ljungberg et al, but we get off to a flyer, 10 shots on goal in the first half, finally scoring through Maloney.
Then a moment of madness from Zarate, who handballs, disagrees with the ref &pushes him. He's off.
inevitably Sweden equalise😡

After missing 2 consecutive tournaments, our qualifying group for the Euros is Sweden, the Czechs again, Iceland, & Azerbaijan. It'll once again be a tough race, a lot of evenish sides, but really we're probably 3rd.

Absolutely inexplicable career for Frank Lampard. 31 now, finds himself at Celtic with just 5 England caps, frozen out across 5 seasons at Chelsea under Ranieri, sold by Neeskens.
Still has a Premier League medal and a League Cup, but still an utterly wasted pomp

A supremely frustrating group. Given Belarus turned out to be amazing, I can only point at 1 bad result. We lost to two good teams on a good day, but mopping the floor with Latvia and drawing, which was the killer, along with Charlie Millers shock retirement at 32.

Again we're down 2 CBs, I also decide to bring Gary Teale &Shaun Maloney back, just because they happen to have scored for us in the past and we need goals.
But Belarus, Kutuzov, Hleb, are simply too good. Clinical.

So i think we can still finish 2nd, and have an outside chance of a playoff spot, having lost just once in 7.
But, we must beat Belarus, who have a +4 goal diff on us. We drew last time, so hopefully we would get the nod if we're level.
Got to win first though...

Beating Russia at that stage was essential, but Belarus are surprising everyone (as I suppose are the Czechs with their fallibility). We must beat them, and Latvia now.

Cant tell if it was an open net or not because Bayern only had 1 shot in that time, Owen Hargreaves heading wide.
